They would ban model contests because of a problem (which has existed for a long time) for which they see no solution, rather than take the time and trouble to attempt to arrive at a workable solution. It's sort of as if they are refusing to keep a horse before they find out whether the barn door carl be locked to keep it from being stolen. The essence of the matter lies in informing everyone of the ground rules. When all compete to the same set of regulations, protests are minimized. Possibly the point scale can be criti- cized as being unfair in detail, but it is available to everyone who will take the trouble to look at it before or after he builds his model-and as long as the same points are applied to every model, one judging basis is as fair as another. The rnajor problem of a contest corn- mittee is the selection of judges who are recognized modelers and who have the courage of their convictions in case any questions are asked. In my experience it is possible for an impartial visitor at a show to pick about 80 percent of the prizewinning models on a purely subjective basis, without ever looking at a point scale. He may not get them in - proper 1-2-3 order, and he may miss a few, but excellent modeling is generally excellent modeling in anyone's language. I see no point in trying to spare con- testants' feelings by not having a contest. They recognize-or should recognize-the fact that only so many prizes can be awarded; and they can generally tell by looking the field over whether their model has a chance. I admire the refusal of judges to award •74,PlHE SERIES 50' MEOHANICAL 1711'InFER in HO. The ones you have waited for.

Igor the Mo•eler Who wants the 3est. any prize at all in a category if none of the entries are of prizewinning quality. By the same token, if there is only one entry in a category, and it is of prizewinning quality, it should be given a prize even if there are no competing models in the category. Model railroaders who enter contests are pretty good guys- all they ask is a fair shake. They just want to be judged by the same set of standards that everyone else is judged by. 4013 'WilUsms Ave. W., Seattle, Wash. Teen-age rail PHILIP H.
